FINANCING A HOME
What you need to know
Whether you’re renting, downsizing, buying or refinancing, below are some helpful tips.
Benefits Of Owning Home
Owning a home has many financial benefits. Although homeowners are faced with additional expenses and private mortgage insurance premiums, mortgage interest and property taxes are tax deductible and can save you money in the long run. Owning a home also allows you to put value back into your home and build home equity.
With a strong financial history and proper planning, owning a home can be an affordable and worthwhile investment.
Rent or Own?
Whether you should rent or own greatly depends on your local housing market, financial standing and length of residency. Whereas rent is an out-of-pocket expense, monthly mortgage payments gradually reduce your remaining loan balance. That means with each payment, you will own more of your home, eventually having no payments at all.
As a homeowner, you can make all the decisions and know where your money goes. As you decide whether to rent or own, keep in mind that rent prices can increase without your consent, reflecting rising demand and renovation costs. Additionally, mortgage payments can be less expensive than rent payments over time, even with a fluctuation in interest rates.
